That reminds me of one of my favorite computer trivia questions:
What is the shortest useful CP/M program?

Oh yes, the "infinitely profitable program." There was a write up of this that
I came across some time ago. It's a pretty cool program. Google can find it by
searching that phrase.

My guess (and I am not a CP/M person) is that it's something
like the 0-length .com file. This will not affect memory when run,
but CP/M will then jump to 0x100 (normal .com file load address)
and thus re-start the last program you ran.
